Flame Wizard 1st, 2nd and 3rd Job Advancement

How to do 1st, 2nd and 3rd Job Advancement for Knight of Cygnus Flame Wizard?

1st Job (1st Rank)

Ok, first things first! Let’s get our job advancement! This is pretty simple :P. Once you reach level 10, go talk to Ninehearts on Ereve. After talking to him talk to any of the 5 Knights Commanders (in this case you should talk to ‘Oz’ to become a Blaze Wizard.) That’s it, and now onto the build!Reasoning
Add 1 SP into Magic Claw first, so you can use your INT to deal more damage.
Max Improving MaxMP Increase to gain more MP for every level up.
Max Magic Claw. This will be your main offense skill till 2nd Rank Advancement.
Max Flame (Fire Spirit) to aid you in battle while you are killing other monsters.
Max Magic Guard to channel damage from HP into MP since Magician has low health.Summary – Total 61 SP
Magic Claw (20/20) / Flame (20/20) / Magic Armor (1/10) / Magic Guard (10/10) / Improve Max MP Increase (10/10)

FAQ: Frequently Asked QuestionQ: Why max ImprovingMaxMP in the early levels?
Having lots of Mana Capacity is essential in your training and survivability. Flame Wizard has high level skill requires high amount of MP. On the other hand, Flame Wizard’s Magic Guard relies on high mana capacity to block incoming damage from powerful monsters and bosses. Every bit of mana serves to protect your life!

Q: Why max Magic Claw first before Flame (Summon)?
Magic Claw damage increases as you add more AP (Ability Points) into INT (Intellect). Flame (The Summon Fireball) damage does not increase as much as Magic Claw. Furthermore, you can specify which monster to hit with Magic Claw, but Flame is automatic attack. Although Flame can save MP instead of you attacking using Magic Claw, you will train very slow with Flame. Magic Claw is the primary offensive skill for all Flame Wizard at first job and this skill will help you through 2nd Job to obtain the next powerful skill that will replace Magic Claw.

Q: Why max Magic Guard at the last?
Most of the monsters that you will be training on are not strong. They are not able to kill you in 1-2 HKO (hit knockout). You will often be using health potions to recover your health. Furthermore, relying on Magic Guard to protect you is costly since 1 MP (worth 2 meso) is equivalent to 2 HP (worth 2 meso).

2nd Job (2nd Rank)

Now lets get our 2nd Job Advancement! It’s the same as any other 2nd Job Advancements. First, after you level up to 30 a light bulb will appear over you head. It will be Ninehearts; tak to him, and then go to Ereve. Once there talk to him, and then to your Knight Commander. After talking to her go all the way to the right (at the other end of Ereve.) At the last there should be 4 floors with arrows on the side. Go up to the second floor, and enter the room. In there kill the enemies and collect 30 ‘Proof of Tests.’ When your done go back and talk to your Knight Commander. There you go your done. Congratulations your done, and now on to the build.Reasoning
Add 1 SP into Teleport for mobility.
Max Fire Pillar. A great mob skill to clear many monsters to gain fast EXP.
Add 11 SP into Spell Booster to gain Level-3 attacking speed. Reduce casting delay.
Max Teleport to speed up training, you can spam it for traveling and in training.
Max Meditation to enhance your raw magic damage.
Max Spell Booster to increase the duration.
Max Elemental Reset. This allows you to train on monsters with different elements.
Max Slow. Great for training and bossing. Gives you more time to escape and less bumping!
Fire Arrow isn’t maxed because 3rd Job Skill (Fire Strike) replaces Fire Arrow.Summary – Total 121 SP
Fire Pillar (20/20) / Elemental Reset (20/20) / Spell Booster (20/20) / Teleport (20/20) / Fire Arrow (1/20) / Slow (20/20) / Meditation (20/20)

FAQ: Frequently Asked QuestionQ: Why max Slow instead of Fire Arrow?
This is up to player’s preferences. Fire Arrow is good for bossing, but most of the time, you won’t be bossing at 2nd Job but in 3rd Job (where you have better soloing skill). Slow works on normal monster and boss monster. Plus, it slows them down to snail pace, thus buying some time for you to escape from harm. Furthermore, you will be using your 2nd Job Fire Pillar to defeat many monster at once to gain faster EXP (in training) instead of one-by-one with Fire Arrow (slower method of training).

3rd Job (3rd Rank)

After getting to level 70 (congratulations) the light bulb will, again, appear over your head. It will be Nineheart; it seems that a member of the Black Wing (the Magical Transformer) has transformed into a Knight Commander, and has stolen a certain treasure! First go over to Neinhearts and get a Search Warrant from him. It will cost 1 Dark Crystal, and expires in 24 hours. Now let’s get searching; look in all of the portals through out the Training Forest and you’ll find him. He will look like your Knight Commander and will only be saying “…” When you do find him, talk to him and he will fight you. Defeat him, and collect the treasure he drops. Go back to your Knight Commander and you’ll be done with the quest! You’ll get 1 Skill Points, and a 3rd Job Book.Reasoning
There are 2 types of builds for 3rd JobSummary – Total 151 SP
Flame Gear (30/30) / Fire Strike (30/30) / Element Amplification (20/20) / Ifrit (20/20) / Elemental Resistance (11/20) / Seal (20/20) / Meteo (20/20)

Flame Wizard 1st Job Skill

Improving Max MP Increase (Max: Lv10) – Passive (Self-Supportive)
This skill boosts up the amount of increase on MaxMP after each Level UP, or AP used on Max MP.
LV 01 : If Level UP, +2 more; if AP applied, +1 more on top on MaxMP
LV 05 : If Level UP, +10 more; if AP applied, +5 more on top on MaxMP
LV 10 : If Level UP, +20 more; if AP applied, +10 more on top on MaxMPThis skill is the most essential skill for all Magician, this includes Cygnus Flame Wizard! It allows you to passively increase your MP (Magic/Mana Point) Capacity. This enables you to spam your magic skills or allows you to survive the strongest incoming damage (with the aid of Magic Guard)

Magic Guard (Max: Lv10) – Active (Self-Supportive)
Temporarily replaces damage with MP instead of HP. If MP reaches 0, the HP takes a full hit.
LV 01 : MP -6; Replace 8% of HP damage as LV : MP for 150 sec.
LV 05 : MP -10; Replace 40% of HP damage as LV : MP for 350 sec.
LV 10 : MP -14; Replace 80% of HP damage as LV : MP for 600 sec.
This is the second most important skill for all Magician! Without this, you won’t be able to survive long while training in high level areas where monster damage can easily 1HitKO since Magician has the least health among all jobs. To counter this problem, Magic Guard allows Magician to channel most of the damage to their Mana Bank (MP Reservoir) since they have plenty of them (gained through Improving Max MP), thus they can withstand the most incoming damage (similarly to Warrior High Health). This makes them as strong as Warrior! However take note that every 1 MP consumed cost equivalent to 2 HP. (So use when it is necessary to save meso!)

Magic Armour (Max: Lv10) – Active (Self-Supportive)
Required Skill : Lv3 Magic Guard.
Temporarily boosts the weapon def. of the armor by blowing magic into it.
LV 01 : MP -8, +4 Weapon Def for 40 secs
LV 05 : MP -12, +20 Weapon Def for 200 secs
LV 10 : MP -16, +40 Weapon Def for 400 secs
I wonder why Wizet added this Magic Armor instead of Improving MP Recovery (Adventurer Magician 1st Job Skill). MP Recovery would be far more useful compare to Magic Armor since it allows them to recover MP during battle and AFK (away from keyboard) mode. Anyways, Magic Armor is the least important skill and it should not be maxed. The SP (Skill Points) can be use in other more important skill than this. The reason being, the weapon defense does not provide much protection as it seem it would against high level monster attacks.

Magic Claw (Max: Lv20) – Active (Offensive)
Use MP to attack an enemy twice
LV 01 : MP -10, basic attack 11, mastery 15%
LV 10 : MP -13, basic attack 23, mastery 35%
LV 20 : MP -20, basic attack 40, mastery 60%This will be your primary offensive skill during 1st job and early 2nd job. It allows you to use your INT (Intellect) attribute to dish out heavy damage against enemies! This skill is very useful since it can be used against monsters who are on the other side of the platform where there is obstacle in between! This is the third most essential skill in 1st job to help level up quickly to proceed to 2nd job advancement.

Flame (Max: Lv20) – Active (Summon)
Summon guardian fairy to attack monsters in a close distance.
LV 1 : MP -11 , for 110 sec. summon Flame with basic attack power 11 and mastery 15%
LV 10 : MP -15 , for 150 sec. summon Flame with basic attack power 15 and mastery 35%
LV 20 : MP -20 , for 200 sec. summon Flame with basic attack power 20 and mastery 60%It’s pretty cool to have a summoning monster that hovers nearby you and do some of the attacking work! For those who want to get a feel of how 3rd and 4th job magician summoning is, then this is your chance! It works similarly to those Summoning Monsters. The best part is it does not require Magic Rock or Summoning Rock to activate this skill. It helps in lower level training, but annoying at high levels since it provokes monster that you do not want to fight against. However, you can disable this skill by right-clicking on the skill icon on the top right hand corner of your screen.

First off, I would like to say good job. I think this is the most complete skill table for the Knight of Cygnuses. However, that being said, it is not completely perfect. First of all, please mention that the Flame Wizard’s Magic Claw has a Fire Element on it. Second of all, Fire Heal is not only Flame Pillar, and only does damage. Third, there is no MP Eater; instead, there is Elemental Reset, which changes a % of your damage from the Fire Element to a neutral element (like normal Mage’s Bolt of Magic Claw). At level 1, it is 5% of the damage. At level 20, it is 100%. This is exceptionally useful for the Flame Wizard, because it does not have one neutral attack, and many monsters are strong against fire. Another thing worth mentioning is that, if I remember correctly, Ifrit requires a summoning rock.
